Bazzite is good for noobs looking for a gaming option because it's "immutable" which means the OS filesystem can't be edited, which makes it nearly impossible to break.

Mint is still very noob friendly, just not immutable. Both are solid options because neither one requires any command line to get it on-par with Windows.

I am trying out Kinoite now but it's very similar. I think the immutable distros are best for people who want a "Just works" experience to start with.

Every. Single. Time.

It's purely marketing and I wish it would stop getting repeated. BlueSky is centralized and a for-profit company.

With Linux being better for gaming and Mac still the place for creative software, Windows really is only for business users.

I’m going to install CachyOS, an Arch-based distro

oh god dammit

That Matthew Hodgson quote is good.

"Unhappy users tend to be disproportionately loud given the issues at stake, and there's a huge risk of optimizing to appease those who shout loudest in the short-term rather than find medium-term solutions which solve for everyone."

Literal chills

I actually learned of this when the Material You Home Assistant addon updated yesterday. Kudos to the dev for being extremely on the ball.

This is a good point, I actually made that mistake once! It required their app to setup.

It was as if millions of off-instance voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
